My brother's did this. It was the power supply plug. Seems that it works
its way loose after a while and becomes just loose enough to reset the machine.

Sometimes it would be just borderline enough so that the workbench hand
would show up, but it wouldn't boot a floppy. It would start loading, then
reset back to the hand. 

Wiggle the plug and see if you can force it to reset.

[the plug that plugs into the Amiga, not the end that plugs into the wall]
